新西兰财政部11月3日消息，失业率已降至历史最低水平，并与2007年12月的水平相当，因为政府在大流行病期间支持经济的行动导致了更高的工资和更多的人在工作。
新西兰统计局的数据显示，9月份的失业率从6月份的4%下降到3.4%，失业人数减少了1.8万，为9.8万。上一次低于10万是在2008年9月的季度。本季度的就业人数增加了54,000人，其中女性占39,000人。妇女的就业率为64.6%，这是妇女就业率的最高记录。现在的工作总人数比COVID19之前的2019年12月季度高出11.5万。新西兰的就业率现在是经合组织中的第三高。平均每小时工资上涨了3.5%，达到每小时35.25纽币。
财政部长格兰特-罗伯逊说: “考虑到更高警戒级别限制的影响，这是一个非常积极的结果，表明政府自大流行病开始以来保护生命和生计的做法仍然是正确的。与2020年6月的第一次封锁相比，9月季度报告他们被雇用但零时工作的人数减少了15%。这表明企业和工人在大流行期间是如何适应的，企业正在招聘。这是经济如何在公共卫生限制下继续运行的另一个迹象。大流行病的持续影响可能会看到失业率有一些波动。尽管如此，我们的平衡方法使我们在迈向新的COVID-19保护框架时处于有利地位。结果还显示，与我们衡量自己的国家相比，新西兰的表现很好。在可比措施方面，新西兰3.4%的失业率与澳大利亚的4.6%、英国的4.5%、美国的5.1%和加拿大的7.2%相比。经合组织的平均水平是6.0%”。
社会发展部和就业部长卡梅尔-塞普罗尼说: “毛利人和太平洋人的失业率下降是令人高兴的，表明我们对这些群体的关注正在发挥作用”。
格兰特-罗伯逊说:”我们认识到，特别是在三角洲爆发之前，一些部门正面临着劳动力短缺。政府致力于通过调整移民设置来解决这一问题，如工作假期签证和其他短期签证的延期。一次性居留途径也为移民和企业提供了多达16.5万的确定性”。本届政府已经投资了一些项目，如弹性工资、学徒培训、毛利人贸易培训、 雇用及年輕人工作通路。这些项目旨在增强毛利人和太平洋岛屿人在劳动力市场上的能力，并为他们提供蓬勃发展的技能”。
卡梅尔-塞普罗尼说：”MSD看到了创纪录的就业人数，今天的结果反映了这一点″。
3 November，Unemployment falls to record low。
Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level on record and matching where it was in December 2007, as the Government’s actions to support the economy during the pandemic resulted in higher wages and more people in work.
Stats NZ figures show the unemployment rate fell to 3.4 percent in the September quarter from 4 percent in the June quarter, down 18,000 to 98,000 classed out of work. The last time it was under 100,000 was in the September 2008 quarter.
Employment rose by 54,000 in the quarter, with women accounting for 39,000 of that. The employment rate for women was 64.6 percent, the highest rate ever recorded for women. The total number of people in work is now 115,000 above where it was in the December 2019 quarter before COVID.
New Zealand’s employment rate is now the third highest in the OECD.
The average hourly wage rose 3.5 percent to $35.25 an hour.
“This is a very positive result given the impacts of higher alert level restrictions and shows the Government’s approach since the start of the pandemic to protect lives and livelihoods continues to be the right one,” Grant Robertson said.
“The number of people reporting they were employed but working zero hours was 15 percent lower in the September quarter compared with the first lockdown in the June 2020 quarter. This shows how businesses and workers have adapted during the pandemic and firms are hiring. It’s another sign of how the economy continues to operate under the public health restrictions.
“The ongoing impact of the pandemic is likely to see unemployment move around a bit. Nevertheless, our balanced approach has put us in a strong position as we move to the new COVID-19 Protection Framework.
“The results also show New Zealand has performed favourably against the countries we measure ourselves against.
“On comparable measures, New Zealand’s 3.4 percent unemployment rate stands against 4.6 percent in Australia, 4.5 percent in the United Kingdom, 5.1 percent in the United States and 7.2 percent in Canada. The OECD average is 6.0 percent,” Grant Robertson said.
“The drop in Māori and Pacific unemployment is pleasing and shows that our focus on these groups is working,” Carmel Sepuloni said.
“We recognise in particular prior to the Delta outbreak that some sectors were facing labour shortages. The Government is committed to addressing this through tweaks to immigration settings such as the rollover of working holiday visas and other short term visas. The one-off residence pathway also provides certainty for up to 165,000 to migrants and business,” Grant Robertson said.
“This Government has invested in programmes such as Flexiwage, Apprenticeship Boost, Māori Trades Training, Mana in Mahi and He Poutama Rangatahi, which are designed to empower Māori and Pacific people in the labour market, and provide them with the skills to thrive. MSD are seeing record numbers of people moving into work and today’s results reflect that,” Carmel Sepuloni said.
